Pallof Holds

Pallof Holds are another great stabilization exercise for your core and are very simple to do.

They can be done with either a cable crossover machine set at waist height or with a rubberband attached to something about waist height. I prefer using a rubberband.

After you have decided which piece of equipment you are going to use pull the weight or resistance out in front of your body standing with the equipment to your side and hold the resistance for a set period of time. You will feel this in your abdominals and core as they are trying to resist the weight from pull you over.

As you get better at this exercise you can add more time, increase weight/resistance, change heights, or stand on something unstable.

Try them out.
